2.1 Truck
Safety mechanisms: An enclosed truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe
handling of the truck. The overhead guard protects the driver from falling objects.
The Emergency Disconnect switch immediately cuts out all truck movements in
hazardous situations. Safety gates on either side of the cab disable all truck
movements as soon as they are opened.
Travelling and lifting can only be activated when the foot switch is pressed.
Drive:
Vertically mounted, heavy duty AC motor (asynchronous). The motor is directly
attached to the single-wheel driving gear, ensuring rapid and trouble-free
maintenance.
Brake system:
– The truck can be braked gently and wear-free by pulling back the travel control
button or steering in the opposite direction. This feeds energy into the battery
(operating brake).
– The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as a
parking brake and handbrake.
– EKS 513-515 only:
Depending on the lift height, the load wheel brake acting on the front axle (hydraulic
brake) is only activated when the EMERGENCY DISCONNECT switch is pressed
or if the truck is set to EMERGENCY STOP.
Steering:
Particularly smooth steering with threephase drive system. The handy steering wheel
is integrated within the control panel. The position of the steered drive wheel is shown
in the control panel display unit. The steering angle is +/- 90°, offering maximum
manoeuvrability in narrow aisles.
With the mechanical rail guidance system the drive wheel is set to the forward
position at the press of a button.
In wire guidance mode, steering is automatically assumed by the truck controller
when it detects the guidance wire, and manual steering is deactivated.
Controls and Displays
The functions are activated via ergonomic thumb movement to ensure fatigue-free
operation without stressing the wrists; sensitive application of travel and hydraulic
movements to spare and position the goods exactly.
Integrated information display unit for all important driver information such as steering
wheel position, overall lift, truck status reports (e. g. faults), service hours, battery
capacity, time and inductive guidance status etc.
